Running Time: 2hrs approx. + intermission

In a world of fakes, who can you trust? “Red Cadmium Light” paint was created in 1982. If a Norval Morrisseau painting dated earlier than that included Red Cadmium Light, it was a fake. Nazhi runs an art gallery on the Otter Lake First Nation, specializing in the work of Norval Morrisseau and other renowned Indigenous artists. Her daughter Beverly is a successful Indigenous educator, up for a big promotion. When a reporter begins to dig into the world of counterfeit Indigenous art, a discovery is made that risks jeopardizing both women’s careers, and their relationship, forever.
